Hi Again Larry,

I know you are interested in building a Stern Wheeler. Have a browse around as you are in the home of Paddlers.

Can anyone point him in the right direction please.   :goodluck

Ken,
Are you not forgetting you had a build on here with an incredibly high number of viewers?  Surely you could have made a suitable recommendation to a fellow Mayhem member ?

Difficult I know but Larry seems to have found something himself, ... reminds me of a saying .. a volounteer is worth 10 pressed men ... Go on Larry it's your build... and to quote Ken .... We like Pictures :)
Regards,
Kim

Hi Kim

Thanks for the compliments, but I'm still learning. Sternwheelers and their details elude me at the moment so it was a drive to see if the members could help both of us.

They can be beautiful ships to look at but I understand they are mostly not seaworthy and can be top heavy. You don't often see adverts for either kits or spare parts in the UK so it's a case of looking around the world for ideas and one that takes your fancy. 

Cheers

ken

Hi Larry...and welcome!

I had the same frustrating problem trying to post pictures! Really irritating.

I finally solved it by creating a Gallery with a name. This name then is the 'category'.

Hope this helps....Cheers.....Bernie
